Cool. If you were still on the team McNair's senior season then i've seen you ball. Was at the Capital City Classic in Jackson that year. Me and several co-workers drove down from the M to see if "Air McNair" lived up to the hype. If my recollection serves me correct he didn't have a big statistical game that day but i came away impressed. Damn, i'm dating myself...:oQuote:

I had a bomb thrown to me but I couldn't accelerate and get it because my hamstring was in bad shape. I wore #87. Tim McNair, Steve's brother, wore #7 WR. Marcus Hinton wore #1. Donald Ross wore #2 WR. Kobie Jenkins wore #86. Donald Driver wore #80 like he wears now. Yeah, Mac didn't have that huge game in the classic that year because 2 games before the classic, we played Sam Houston State and he dislocated his shoulder. How many other Alcorn games did you come to see Twoway?
Unfortunately, i only got to see that one Alcorn game. A couple of my guys are Jackson St. alums and it was with them that i came to that Classic. Would have loved to had seen more. We have the Southern Heritage here in the "M" every year but it's always JSU vs TSU. Man, yall had to have been like rock & roll stars everywhere yall played that year. The hype around McNair was that great.Quote:
